It feels like an eternity since we first brought our Little Man home from the hospital the first time, and here we are celebrating again!

The attending (i.e., "head doctor in charge") came in and told Patrick "He looks good. Looks like you're going home today. Congratulations." And Patrick called Kate and said "You should get the girls ready and leave now!" And Kate whispered to Bella "We get to get in the car... and drive to the hospital... and bring Daddy and Baby Joey HOME!!!!"And Bella threw her arms around Mama, then jumped down and ran around in circles laughing and singing "Joey's coming HOME!!!"And you never saw a happier parade than the one escorting our Precious Miracle out those hospital doors.

Let me sum up...

When our Joseph Thomas was just 8 days old he was diagnosed with 3 major heart defects. He has faced multiple heart surgeries and life-threatening procedures, survived CPR, been on various forms of life support, lost and found his voice again, and defied statistical odds. The doctors called him "Rock Star" and our Priest-friend called him "Rocky." He will face more challenges and surgeries in the future, but we hope not for a while. This is our boy's story!
